General Electric Refrigerator TBX20THB Leaking

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is responsible for controlling the flow of water into the refrigerator’s ice maker and water dispenser. The valve opens and closes to allow the right amount of water to fill the ice maker tray or to dispense water from the refrigerator door.

Over time, the water inlet valve can wear out or become damaged due to mineral deposits, corrosion, or electrical issues. A faulty valve can lead to problems with the water supply, affecting the refrigerator’s ability to produce ice or dispense water properly.

Symptoms of a bad water inlet valve include:

• No water or ice production
• Water dispenser not working
• Leaks or drips around the valve or inside the refrigeratorStrange noises coming from the valve area

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This clamp secures small hoses or tubing and nearby wiring inside the appliance to keep lines held in place and reduce rubbing, leaks, or vibration noise. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to restore proper hose routing and stability. What it does:

• Holds water, drain or vent tubing securely to prevent sagging and rubbing that can cause leaks or wear
• Keeps hoses and wires aligned to reduce vibration and rattling during operation
• Helps maintain proper connections at fittings so seals stay seated and drip risk is minimized
• Simple mechanical clip action — no special tools or adhesives required

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting any repair
• Remove the old clamp and install this clamp in the same orientation; tubing sits fully in the fitting
• Use standard pliers (or the OEM-recommended tool) to compress/seat the clamp; avoid twisting or pinching the tubing
• Inspect surrounding tubing and fittings for wear; replace damaged hoses or seals if found

The Defrost Timer is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part manages the defrost cycle of the fridge and freezer compartments, ensuring that the evaporator coils do not build up excessive frost. 

This cycling is crucial for maintaining optimal temperatures for food preservation and energy efficiency. Over time, the defrost timer can malfunction due to wear, electrical issues, or a buildup of dust and debris, leading to poor performance or failure.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Timer include:

• Frost buildup in the freezer compartment
• The refrigerator or freezer is not maintaining the set temperature
• The fridge or freezer sections are too warm
• The defrost cycle does not activate, leading to reduced cooling efficiency

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Ice Maker Fill Tube Grommet is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This grommet creates a seal between the ice maker fill tube and the refrigerator, preventing leaks and ensuring that water is properly directed into the ice maker during the filling process.

Causes of a bad grommet can include regular wear and tear, damage from exposure to freezing and thawing cycles, or degradation from exposure to water and moisture.  

Symptoms of a bad ice maker fill tube grommet include:

• Water leaks around the ice maker fill tube area
• Ice maker not producing ice properly
• Visible cracks or deformation in the grommet
• Water pooling inside or around the refrigerator

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
